mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Ex parte reexamination proceedings,
including any appeal to the Board, are
conducted with special dispatch within
the USPTO. See 35 U.S.C. 305. The
current average pendency of appeals in
ex parte reexaminations, for those
appeals decided this fiscal year, is 6.0
months. The USPTO is not making the
Streamlined, Expedited Patent Appeal
Pilot for Small Entities applicable to
appeals in ex parte reexaminations as
these appeals already are handled with
special dispatch, and the petition
evaluation process only would delay the
Board decision in an appeal in an ex
parte reexamination.
The Streamlined, Expedited Patent
Appeal Pilot for Small Entities is being
adopted on a temporary basis until two
thousand (2,000) appeals have been
accorded special status under the pilot,
or until September 16, 2016, whichever
occurs earlier. The USPTO may extend
the Streamlined, Expedited Patent
Appeal Pilot for Small Entities (with or
without modification) on either a
temporary or permanent basis, or may
discontinue the pilot after September
16, 2016, depending upon the results.
Additional information concerning the
Streamlined, Expedited Patent Appeal
Pilot for Small Entities, including
statistical information and pendency of
appeals before the Board, can found on
the USPTO Internet Web site at:
https://www-cms.uspto.gov/patentsapplication-process/patent-trial-andappeal-board/expedited-patent-appealpilot.
